Malloy: State Will Help Local Communities Facing Road Salt Shortage

Malloy said Friday DOT has deferred its expected deliveries of salt until all the 88 cities and towns that obtain their salt under the state’s contract receive what they need.

“I want to make sure my state has the salt and that that salt is distributed within our borders so that communities can keep their citizens safe,” Malloy said on Friday. “We have plenty of salt. Municipalities don’t. We’re taking steps to make sure that municipalities have salt.”

Municipalities that don’t use the state contract will be able to load up on surplus DOT salt at one of six facilities around the state.
